Only undocked dogs and legally docked dogs may be entered for exhibition at this show I got my first bulldog in 1977; little did I know then that this would start a lifelong love affair with the breed. Bulldogs became not just m y passion but m y life, through showing, breeding, and judging bulldogs I have seen many parts of the world and met people who have become lifelong friends. I am still proud that I have judged the INC. morning show, Bulldog of the Year and the Bulldog club INC. champion show. Since I started the health of this breed has greatly improved and in my opinion this improvement started twenty odd years ago and not just when the EU, and kennel clubs got on their m oral high grounds. Despite not breeding many litters, I have bred 22 champions most of these owned by then novices which m akes me very proud. I was lucky to be able to import stud dogs from the UK, USA, South Africa and Australia the th
Beefeater Bulls kennel was registered on the 14 January 1980 in the Netherlands. So my dogs were shown all over Europe in the days before quarantine was abolished. I consider it a privilege to have spent my life with bulldogs. I wish all exhibitors and bulldogs an enjoyable day. Your Judge today Ann van den Heuvel RAMP With the kind permission of the Judge and the Club we will be trialling a Ramp on which exhibits m ay be presented for examination by the judge.

There should be plenty of free flowing air around the dog. 5) When at the show, never leave your dog in the vehicle. 6) Keep the dog in the shade – take your own shade for example a large umbrella and always have plenty of water available to drink so your dog stays well hydrated. 7) Avoid your dog taking part in unnecessary exertion, or from standing in exposed sunlight for extended lengths of time. Remember, if you feel hot your dog is very likely to feel much hotter and dehydrated, and this could lead to dire results. Please look after your dog’s welfare.
